Help: Turkish e-visa
I am US citizen. My mother(currently living with me in US) entered the states on a valid B1/B2 tourist visa. I then applied for her Permanent Residence (I130) and adjustment of status (485). Currently, the applications are pending while she has a EAD/AP combo card which can be used to re-enter the states.
She plans to travel with us to Turkey for a few days.
Questions:
-
Does EAD card act as a residence permit? Obtaining an e-visa is easy but would the officer at port of entry in Istanbul accept EAD/AP as a valid document for e-visa?
-
Technically, she cannot enter the states on the b1/b2 visa but would having a valid b2 visa on her passport be proof enough at the port of entry in Turkey? Can the agent find out that she has an EAD and therefore the tourist visa is not valid?
Really appreciate help in this matter.
